Vladimir Perisic's film ORDINARY PEOPLE shown as a part of main competition at the 7th ZFF is a winner of 19th FilmFestival Cottbus: The International Jury awarded director Vladimir Perisic as well as the producers Anthony Doncque and Milena Poylo with the LUBINA - the Main Prize for Best Film. In its statement the jury pointed out the 'extraordinary artistic value of the film, including all the components of a really great work: a strong story, outstanding director's and DP's work, wonderful acting and the astonishingly refined construction of the film'. The same film also received the LUBINA for an Outstanding Actor: Relja Popoviæ convinced the jury portraying a young soldier, who naivly joins up an elite unit and is ordered to commit war crimes. The jury honoured Popovic's 'minimalistic and instinctive way of acting, providing us with profound insight into the inner world of the main character'.
